Eww, cap sleeves

I purchased this dress from the Gap's new "European Collection" on sale. I tried it on and it fit like a glove, which is pretty much unheard of for me. Even the length was perfect (I'm 5'2" -- length is never perfect). But when I looked in the mirror...cap sleeves. I can't see what the point of cap sleeves is, unless you are blessed with perfectly toned (but not muscular) arms. Alas, I am not. Nor is the model in the picture, actually, but her airbrushed toothpick arms hide the fact that the sleeves are capped. I think I'm going to have to return the dress, which is a shame since it fits so well.

On the subject of me

Since learning about CSAs a few years ago, I've wanted to take part. This year I used some of my work bonus to finally jump in; I'm thrilled to share my first CSA experience with you!
